LORETTO, Pa. - Temple field hockey held its second opponent in a row to four shots or fewer as the Owls improved to 3-0 with a 7-0 shutout win at St. Francis (PA). Senior Taryn Nichols and junior Bridget Settles each scored twice for Temple, with Settles also recording one of the Owls' five assists.

Sophomore Katie Briglia, who was the lone scorer in Temple's 1-0 win vs. Fairfield last weekend, got things started for the Owls with an unassisted goal 14 minutes into the contest. The second goal of her career would also prove to be her second game-winner, as TU dominated the entire way.

Freshman Lauren Hunt scored Temple's second goal off an assist from Settles, and Nichols got her first of two goals off an assist from Lauren Ujobai. Freshman Molly Doyle scored on a pass from fellow freshman Mandi Shearer just before halftime to put the Owls up 4-0.

Settles scored both her goals in the second half, and Nichols got her second tally in the second half as well. Senior Kylee Yetter recorded an assist on the first goal by Settles, and Briglia assisted on the second score for Settles.

Temple out-shot the Red Flash (0-3) 18-4 in the game, and got nine penalty corners. St. Francis had seven corners of its own, but was unable to convert on any.

The Owls will stay on the road for their next contest, a 1:00 p.m. Sunday game vs. Georgetown, which will be played at American University in Washington, D.C.
